About Z-Wave
Adding the Device to a Z-Wave® Network (Inclusion)
Note! All device outputs (O, O1, O2, etc.) will turn the load ON/OFF 1s ON / 1s OFF / 1s ON / 1s OFF if the device is successfully added/removed.
Note! For Security 2 (S2) inclusion, a dialog appears asking for the PIN code (5 underlined digits) printed on the Z-Wave® DSK label on the side of the device and in the packaging.
IMPORTANT: The PIN code must not be lost.
SmartStart Adding (Inclusion)
SmartStart-enabled products can be added by scanning the Z-Wave QR code on the device using a gateway with SmartStart support. No further action is needed; the device adds automatically within 10 minutes of being powered on near the network.
- Scan the QR code on the device label using the gateway app and add the Security 2 (S2) Device Specific Key (DSK) to the provisioning list.
- Connect the device to power.
- Check if the blue LED is blinking in Mode 1. If yes, it's not added yet.
- Adding starts automatically within seconds after power-on.
- Blue LED blinks in Mode 2 during adding.
- Green LED blinks in Mode 1 upon successful addition.
Adding (Inclusion) with S Button
- Connect the device to power.
- Confirm blue LED is blinking in Mode 1 (not added).
- Enable "Add/Remove" mode on the gateway.
- Press and hold the S button until the LED turns solid blue.
- Release quickly, then press and hold (>2s) until the LED blinks in Mode 3. Releasing starts Learn mode.
- Blue LED blinks in Mode 2 during adding.
- Green LED blinks in Mode 1 if successful.
Note: In Setting mode, the device times out after 10 seconds and returns to Normal mode.
Removing the Device from a Z-Wave® Network (Exclusion)
Note: The device will be removed from the network, but custom configurations remain unchanged.
Note! All device outputs will toggle ON/OFF 1s ON / 1s OFF / 1s ON / 1s OFF upon removal.
Removing (Exclusion) with S Button
- Connect the device to power.
- Confirm green LED is blinking in Mode 1 (added).
- Enable "Add/Remove" mode on the gateway.
- Press and hold S button until LED turns solid blue.
- Release quickly, then press and hold (>2s) until LED blinks in Mode 3. Releasing starts Learn mode.
- Blue LED blinks in Mode 2 during removal.
- Blue LED blinks in Mode 1 upon successful removal.
Note: Timeout of 10 seconds in Setting mode.
Factory Reset
General
After factory reset, all custom parameters (kWh, associations, routing, etc.) return to default. HOME ID and NODE ID are deleted. Use only when the gateway is missing or inoperable.
With S Button
- Press and hold S button until LED turns solid blue.
- Press S button multiple times until LED turns solid red.
- Press and hold (>2s) until red LED blinks in Mode 3. Releasing starts reset.
- During reset: LED turns solid green (~1s), then blue/red blink in Mode 3 (~2s).
- Blue LED blinks in Mode 1 if successful.
Remotely via Parameter (via Gateway)
Set Parameter No. 120 to 1431655765 (hex 0x55555555) to trigger factory reset.
Z-Wave Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports Security 2 (S2) using Strong AES 128 encryption — making Z-Wave the most secure IoT platform available.
Authenticated Control
- Out-of-band DSK for inclusion
- Compatible with most implementations
Supports S2 Authenticated, Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion.
Note: When adding via S2-enabled gateway, the DSK PIN (first five digits) is required. The DSK is printed on the device label and included in packaging. Do not remove the label.
The first five digits are highlighted/underlined to identify the PIN. The DSK is also represented as a QR code.
A joining node obfuscates its public key by setting bytes 1–2 to zero (
0x00) before RF transmission. The DSK may be used for out-of-band (OOB) authentication.
The including gateway can scan the QR code to read the full DSK and match it with the obfuscated public key received via RF.
